Industrial Doctoral Network on Bridge Digitalised Integrity Management

Project description

Innovative methods for bridge information management

Technological advancements can significantly improve the management of bridge information, thereby supporting decisions relevant to bridge integrity. The EU-funded BRIDGITISE doctoral network aims to focus on digitalising bridge management throughout its lifecycle. This will be achieved through the development of innovative methodologies related to information management. The project will create and validate on-site, innovative, and cost-effective technologies for collecting bridge information. Specifically, it will leverage AI and IoT technologies that are tailored for processing, sharing, and analysing data. Additionally, digital decision support tools for bridge management will be developed as part of the initiative. BRIDGITISE will provide technology-enhanced training and dissemination tools. It will conduct international workshops to foster knowledge exchange and skill development in the field of bridge management.

Objective

The BRIDGITISE doctoral network will focus on the digitalisation of bridge management across the lifecycle through the development of innovative approaches to information management. The basic idea underlying the project is that the achievement of excellence in this field requires the development and validation onsite of innovative technologies for the cost-effective management of bridge information and their use to support decisions relevant to bridge integrity management across the lifecycle.
To this aim, a network of 15+1 PhD projects is structured around three main research and training clusters focused on the development and validation of:
-innovative low-cost, large scale and automatic technologies, to collect bridge information
- Artificial Intelligence and IoT technologies specifically tailored to bridges to process and share information,
- digital decision support tools able to manage bridges across their lifecycle
The project will combine the expertise of six universities, one research center, and seventeen industrial companies and end-users who will provide case studies to apply and validate the project results thereby fostering the technological transfer of the research findings.
This powerful combination of expertise from industry and academia will introduce the DCs to the topics of the project and add to their inter-sectoral employability, enabling Europe to build world-class competitive capacity in a strategic market. Deliverables of the BRIDGITISE DN will be technology-enhanced training and dissemination tools, international workshops, and Training Schools. Furthermore, an Open platform for sharing data related to bridge management will be built to develop collaborative and information-sharing skills of the DCs and to increase the impact of the project.
